Cycle Morecambe Bay

Great cycling routes around Morecambe Bay whatever your level of riding ability.

Enjoy miles of awe-inspiring sea, sand, and mountain views as you pedal along ample stretches of flat cycleways, quiet lanes, along old railway lines, curious waterways and coastal promenades. You can even rest by hopping on the odd ferry or two.

But if you're looking for more of a challenge, you don't have to stick with easy, seaside bike rides. Discover the scenic hinterland of the Bay where you'll find peaceful, hilly lanes, woodland tracks and panoramic viewpoints.

Venture out for a few days

Morecambe Bay is the home of the Bay Cycle Way – a national cycle network route covering 81 miles hugging the coastline from Sandy Gap on Walney Island to Glasson Dock, south of Lancaster. It’s the only long-distance route in the UK, where you can actually see the end at the beginning and is the perfect introduction for people who are new to cycle touring.

There's lots of reasons to come back with the Lakes and Dales Loop, Way of the Roses and Walney to Wear passing through the Bay also taking in some fantastic stretches of the Bay's best cycle routes.
